Final Answer : B, Explanation :   The Additive Inverse Property states that for any real number   a a a  , there exists a number   − a -a − a   such that   a + ( − a ) = 0 a + (-a) = 0 a + ( − a ) = 0  . In this case,   17 17 17   and   − 17 -17 − 17   are additive inverses, resulting in   0 0 0  .
